An equation from Hollie (aka sunshine faery)]
MORGAN + HUNTER – CAL + BABY = HAPPY MUIRN BEATH DANS & NEW BABY
Revised after inclusion of Bran (b/c I say hers actually subtracts half the baby :P)
MORGAN + HUNTER + BABY + BRAN – LIADAN – CAL = HAPPY MUIRN BEATH DANS & NEW BABY
Okay, done now

Liam jabbed his elbow into her stomach, "You didn't have to tell her that."
"Didn't Hunter want to – uh – didn't he want to," Morgan tried, but found she couldn't ask.
"Marry me?" Liadan finished kindly. "No. We both knew what our relationship was really about. I was fighting with Sgath and knew that he hated Giomanch. So I took up with him one night, and I haven't seen him but once since then and it never came up. I'd appreciate if you wouldn't mention it, I think it best he never know."
Morgan nodded numbly, "How can you stand it?"
Liadan chuckled softly, "By seeing the humor in it."
Morgan looked at her oddly, so Liadan continued, "Would you like to trade?"
A smile tugged at Morgan's lips, "Fathers or children?"
"I don't think I could part with Bran, but I've no ties to Giomanch," she raised a brow.
"And I would gladly have Hunter," Morgan admitted. "But what does this mean? I couldn't leave Cal," she paused then looked at Liadan hopefully, "Could I?"
"It's your choice. I honestly don't know why you've stayed with him this long. I know you love Hunter, and I also know that you know that Sgath has lied to you," Liadan mused. (MUSED MUSED MUSED)
"I didn't think that it was right," Morgan confessed. "I do know that Cal has been lying, Ciaran too. And if it were not for the baby, I would have ditched him as soon as I remembered Hunter. But, as you can see, I feel that a child has a right to be with their father."
"To tell you the truth, I think it would be better if you left Sgath. And I wouldn't mind having him back," Liadan hinted.
Morgan smiled, "I see the humor now. Our children are going to be screwed up."
Liadan grinned mischievously, "Well, Giomanch will always have a piece of Sgath and Sgath will always have a piece of Giomanch."
Liam rolled his eyes, "They'll be thrilled."
"Then, are we agreed?" Liadan asked.
Morgan firmly replied, "Agreed."
Liam rubbed his hands together, "So, how are we going to do this?"
"Well, Giomanch is still crazily in love with Morgan, so there's no problem there," Liadan reported.
"And Sgath still loves you, though he is rapped up in Ciaran's plans," Liam nodded.
"And Morgan. Sgath does love Morgan, too," Liadan pointed out.
"More and more I suspect that love is closely entwined with his hatred of Hunter," Morgan revealed.
"I have an idea!!" Liam said suddenly.
